Admiral Costumes

Arms and Archery
Weapons, and in particular, medieval-style, but also do a good range of other stuff. In Ware, Hertfordshire, but the wide range makes it more than worth it especially if you're looking for something otherwise hard to find. Worth noting that they are primarily a film/tv hire company so weapons/armour (1) looks real (2) is heavy, and (3) might not be blunted. http://armsandarchery.co.uk/
